WATER SOFTENER SYSTEMS

Most Puronics® whole-house water softener systems incorporate SilverShield® Protection which is based on NASA technology. Our water softener systems also utilize the advanced technology of the iGen… the valve so smart it does the thinking for you to monitor your water to optimize water quality and operating efficiency.

Water softening, also known as water conditioning, is a technique that serves the removal of the ions that cause the water to be hard, in most cases calcium and magnesium ions. Iron ions may also be removed during softening process. The best way to soften water is to use a water softener unit that connects directly to the water supply.

WHAT IS WATER SOFTENING?

When water contains a significant amount of calcium and magnesium, it is called hard water. Hard water is known to clog pipes and hot water tanks and complicates soap and detergent dissolving in water.

HOW DOES A WATER SOFTENER WORK?

A water softener collects hardness minerals within its conditioning tank and from time to time flushes them away to drain. Ion exchangers are often used for water softening. When an ion exchanger is applied for water softening, it will replace the calcium and magnesium ions in the water with other ions such as salt.
